An Overview Of Traditional Chinese Medicine Research
For over 3,000 years, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has made great contributions to the health and well-being of Chinese people. The practice of TCM has also been adapted in many Asian countries for centuries. Nowadays in China, along with Western medicine, TCM is well integrated in the Chinese healthcare system as one of two mainstream medical practices.In the past several decades, the fast economic growth of China has not only promoted the use of TCM beyond Chinese-speaking countries, but also inspired researchers to perform modern scientific research on TCM for disease treatment and health maintenance. The American Journal of Chinese Medicine (AJCM) is the oldest complementary and in...

Comprehensive Chinese Materia Medica
Through an immense feat of coordinated scholarship in the 1960s and 1970s, the Nánjīng University of Traditional Chinese Medicine collected and identified items used in indigenous Chinese healing practices, providing information about their origins, properties, applications, chemical composition, and classical records. This project led to the publication in 1977 of the Zhōng Yào Dà Cí Diǎn (中药大辞典, “The Encyclopedia of Chinese Medicinals”), which describes 5,767 animal, vegetable, and mineral items used in classical Chinese medicine and in Chinese folk medicine. Since China occupies a vast territory spanning numerous climatic zones, some of these items are familiar to fol...
Essential Subtleties on the Silver Sea
Here is the first translation into English of the complete Yin-Hai Jing-Wei, a classic fifteenth-century text on Chinese ophthalmology. As one of the few original manuscripts on traditional Chinese medicine translated into a Western language, this work offers an unprecedented view of the practice of medicine, and specifically eye care, in premodern China. Superbly rendered from the classical Chinese and extensively annotated by Paul U. Unschuld and Jürgen Kovacs, the text provides detailed descriptions of the etiology, symptomatology, and therapy of every eye disease known to fifteenth-century Chinese practitioners. The translators' introduction also provides the first in-depth analysis of the development of this specialty within Chinese medicine. As a source for comparative studies of Chinese and Western medicine and numerous other issues in the history of medicine and Chinese thought, the Yin-Hai Jing-Wei has no equal in the Western world.

Basics of Acupuncture
In 1987, our first book Acupuncture: Textbook and Atlas received rave reviews (e.g., in New England Journal of Medicine). This prompted us to write this smaller, affordable version in order to reach a wider audience. The smaller format has been so successful that we are now into our fourth revised edition. This has given us the opportunity to update and improve the book. For example, nu merous new references to scientific advances have been added. Also the section on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) was ad ded because it gives a more complete picture of the current prac tice of acupuncture. Acupuncture has come a long way since our first book in 1987. There has been a surge of interest in treating drug addictions by ear acupuncture in 450 centers world wide. The treatment of nau sea and vomiting has been so well tested (scientifically) that the FDA (USA) is considering making this the major indication for acupuncture in America. Research into its efficacy for neurologi cal and pulmonary diseases is also gaining credibility. No longer is chronic pain the only scientifically acceptable use for acupuncture (based on the endorphin mechanism).
China Voices
As it plays a key role in driving the worlds economy, China needs to tackle challenges of a different sort on the home front. In the face of a burgeoning rights movement, it has rounded up dissenters, even imposed long jail terms on key activists, most notably of whom Liu Xiaobo, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Being targeted are independent intellectuals who have boldly called for political reform and the restoration of justice in the country. They embrace universal values such as freedom, democracy and rights protection that are deservingly honoured in any civilized society. Although some have disappeared from public view under repression, the voices of conscientious individuals continue to be heard in blogosphere and media interviews. This book features 10 prominent, liberal Chinese intellectuals who have spoken their minds on the changes necessary for the country. Defiant but peace-loving, they represent a different China that can come onto the world stage in due course.
Navigating the Channels of Traditional Chinese Medicine
A favorite for first year acupuncture and TCM students because it covers the essential knowledge of the channels and collaterals and the characteristics of the channel system, providing descriptives that include the key points, pathway, associated organs and points, physiology, pathology, clinical applications, and divergent, teninomuscular, and collateral channels.
